This patch breaks booting pygrub guests on FreeBSD, it seems to trigger 
some kind of error when pygrub exits:

libxl: error: libxl_bootloader.c:596:bootloader_copyfail: unexpected eof 
copying bootloader output
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1129:domcreate_rebuild_done: cannot (re-)build 
domain: -3

I will try to look into it, have you tested if the same happens on 
Linux?

Roger.
